The mission is challenging, and that takes all the salt Detective Samson. Panic reigns in the city: the magpie has been robbed, the centipede discovers that his shoe rack has been reduced by half the staff, the kittens have escaped from their mother’s house… A massive investigation awaits Detective Samson, who concentrates with one The bowler hat, the brown checkered jacket and the magnifying glass, which are essential for his function, are equipped with the dog-like appearance.
